There is
little need to waste much space wondering why the cabinet minister in charge of
our police should be spending Christmas in Dubai; or why the BBC needed to get a
prince in to interview an ex-president; or how a humble pastor manages to drive
a sleek and expensive coupe; or if JZ knows
where the money will come from to pay almost all student fees; or what the
mortgage holders (i.e. the banks) think about a policy of land seizure without
compensation; or what is the true value of a Bitcoin?
And the really
serious stuff like Cape Town taps running dry, and Durban motorists being
killed by rocks dropped from bridges will also not be solved in 700 words
The Proteas’
demolition of Zimbabwe in a so-called cricket test (4 days, pink ball!) has
left most of us wondering what on earth is happening in the corridors of sports
administration. All we can cling to is that there may be a South African taking
part in the Winter Olympics skiing events.
So I wish you
a safe, healthy and comfortable New Year, happy in the knowledge that when it
comes to displays of incompetence and foolishness by those who regard
themselves as superior to everyone else, the best is still to come.
Thanks for
reading.
